Chapter 8
Life goes on as what I've expected. No one asked me about the sudden reaction of Nixus in the kitchen during Sky's birthday. They all shut their mouths and that's what I wonder.
I have a busy weekdays at CelCuis. Minsan lang kaming nagkikitang dalawa kung hindi rin siya abala. He is a self-employed architect and has a flexible work schedule. Ganoon pa man hanggang tawag lang kami sa isa't-isa.
He is also pursuing his Master's Degree in Architecture and as I've noticed he works full time with his projects. He's a very hardworking man.
Kahapon 'nong nag-video call siya sa akin. He is on the site and it is their lunch time. Kahit busy man siya ay hindi pa rin niya ako nakakalimutang kamustahin. Sapat na iyon sa akin. We are on the first phase of knowing each other and I understand the situation. We're a busybody indeed and we need to work hard in order to feed ourselves and buy our necessities.
I asked him yesterday about his work and stuff. Ngumingiti na lang ako habang naaalala ang bawat paliwanag niya sa akin. Unlike other man who only thought nasty things, Nixus is a work-driven man. I can see that he really loves architecture.
We even talked about how architects used computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and building information modeling (BIM) for creating designs and construction drawings. However, he told me that hand-drawing skills are still required, especially during the conceptual stages of a project and when an architect is at the construction site.
Mas lalo lang dumagdag ang aking paghanga sa kanya. His good traits are crazily listed in my mind. First, he respects women and their value. Alam kong medyo naging pangahas siya noong una naming pagkikita pero sadyang may mga prinsipyo at batas lang talaga siya na nalabag ko. Ngunit alam kong nagsisi siya. He said sorry afterwards eh. Second, is on how he respects elders no matter his/her status in life. Kahit pulubi o mahirap man ay nirerespeto niya. Third, is that he is a God-fearing man. I saw him once in St. Monica church. Nasa likod kami ni Star nakaupo at nasa first row naman siya noon. Fourth, and I know he still have more divine traits, ay kung gaano siya kasigasig sa buhay kahit ang katotohanan ay galing siya sa marangyang pamilya.
It is okay to admire or like someone who's physically attractive. But, I prefer to admire someone who has a good heart, focused, smart but humble, have plans in life, loves his family, knows how to respect and above all sees the worth of everything.
“Bakit hindi ko agad naisip noon na siya pala ang tunay na dahilan kung bakit ka nakangiti palagi? How stupid am I?” ani ng boses malapit sa aking tainga.
Nanigas ako. “Shit Star naman o! You startled me,” angil ko sa kanya at hinarap ito. Muntik ko nang mabitawan ang aking cellphone.
She shrugged and sat down beside me on our couch. Break time namin at nandito kami sa loob ng opisina.
“You're stalking his Instagram? Eh, mostly mga buildings lang naman pinopost niya, tss. Aside from youngest Cassian, personally, of all the Montevalles. I thought Hielder is the most boring.” She crossed her legs and stared at me.
Ini-off ko ang screen ng aking phone at tumitig sa kisame.
“Nope! It's just that he was different, Star. Like a legendary bird who'd reborn to be a man whom I adored the most,” pagtatanggol ko rito.
She sighed. “Kaya pala ‘my phoenix’, damn, love can be corny sometimes–”
Nanlaki ang aking mata sa salitang sinabi niya.
